UV photosensitivity in a Ta2O5 rib waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer

UV photosensitivity in a Ta2O5 rib waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer
UV photosensitivity in a Ta2O5 rib waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer
The ultraviolet (UV) photosensitivity of Ta2O5 measured in a rib waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is reported. With a cumulative fluence of 72J/cm2 at a wavelength of 248nm incident upon one arm through a 3-mm-long window, the MZI exhibits a phase shift of 8pi radians at wavelength λ = 1.55µm, corresponding to a saturated refractive index change of 2.1 x 10-3. Real time measurements of the MZI output during exposure are given and the UV-induced refractive index change is found to be negative.

Abstract

The ultraviolet (UV) photosensitivity of Ta2O5 measured in a rib waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is reported. With a cumulative fluence of 72J/cm2 at a wavelength of 248nm incident upon one arm through a 3-mm-long window, the MZI exhibits a phase shift of 8pi radians at wavelength λ = 1.55µm, corresponding to a saturated refractive index change of 2.1 x 10-3. Real time measurements of the MZI output during exposure are given and the UV-induced refractive index change is found to be negative.
